Title: Of these running backs...
Post by Cirrinone on May 14^th, 2003, 6:36pm

Hey, I know you've probably seen and replied to many topics on these players at an INDIVIDUAL level, but I want to see how you rank them, considering there's VERY few STARTERS left... I am looking for a recommendation or inside scoop I may not have heard yet, hinting at their starting jobs.

I play in a keeper league that rewards 1 point per reception.

1) Duce Staley- Gets a lot of receptions, but may be out when Buckhalter comes around.

2) Buckhalter- Is he going to start or what? Will his injury keep him down like Edge in his first year back last year?

3) Dunn- He gets a lot of receptions, means a lot in my scoring system. But will Duckett start or will Dunn start?

4) Barlow- Is he going to start or what? I think he can be GREAT if he is given the chance.. but WILL he be given the chance this year as the STARTER?

5) Hearst- Should I take him knowing he'll end up with a new team as the starter, or should I avoid him as Barlow's backup?

6) Zereoue- Starter or no? Could be good... but I'm looking for a starter.

7) Trung Candidate- Starter or what? And if so, how well will he do in Spurrier's offense?

8) Troy Hambrick- Don't laugh, but... I'm thinking of taking him over ANY of these other guys. I would take Barlow or Zereoue is their starting job was secure, but there's no competition for the RB job behind Hambrick and Parcells likes to run...

9) Pittman- Gets a lot of receptions and can't really go DOWNHILL after his disappointing year last year

10) Emmitt Smith- Bad for a keeper league but in later rounds, I may take him to use as a Rover player.

11) Ladell Betts- Will he start over Candidate?

12) Bettis- Will his offseason training put him back at #1 RB?

13) T.J. Duckett- If he starts, I like him. But will he?

So rank them please. If there's anyone else you would like to mention, please do so. However, don't rank anyone that is BETTER than the players on this list, because they're already taken. The last RB's taken were A.Thomas and S.Mack, so that tells you what options I have left. Haha, and I still need a STARTING RB. Thanks.

1. Troy Hambrick - Youth and best sitch from a competition-for-the-job standpoint.
2. Emmitt Smith - As of now, the starter.
3. Garrison Hearst - He's just not going to disappear after a solid year last year.
4. Correll Buckhalter - Shoots to the top if/when Duce is moved to another team.
5. Trung Canidate
6. Michael Pittman
7. Kevan Barlow
8. Warrick Dunn
9. T. J. Duckett
(10. Marcel Shipp - Not on your list... Still like the guy's future potential A WHOLE LOT.)
11. Amos Zereoue
12. Jerome Bettis
13. Duce Staley - Shoots about three-quarters of the way up the list if/when he is moved to another team.
